OCLC Research Public License 2.0
|
||
Terms & Conditions Of Use
|
||
May, 2002
|
||
Copyright © 2002. OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. All Rights Reserved
|
||
|
||
PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. BY DOWNLOADING OR USING THE CODE BASE
|
||
AND/OR DOCUMENTATION ACCOMPANYING THIS LICENSE (THE "License"), YOU AGREE
|
||
TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE.
|
||
|
||
Section 1. Your Rights
|
||
|
||
Subject to these terms and conditions of this License, the OCLC Office of
|
||
Research (the "Original Contributor") and each subsequent contributor (collectively
|
||
with the Original Contributor, the "Contributors") hereby grant you a non-exclusive,
|
||
worldwide, no-charge, transferable license to execute, prepare derivative
|
||
works of, and distribute (internally and externally), for commercial and noncommercial
|
||
purposes, the original code contributed by Original Contributor and all Modifications
|
||
(collectively called the "Program").
|
||
|
||
Section 2. Definitions
|
||
|
||
A "Modification" to the Program is any addition to or deletion from the contents
|
||
of any file of the Program and any new file that contains any part of the
|
||
Program. If you make a Modification and distribute the Program externally
|
||
you are a "Contributor." The distribution of the Program must be under the
|
||
terms of this license including those in Section 3 below.
|
||
|
||
A "Combined Work" results from combining and integrating all or parts of the
|
||
Program with other code. A Combined Work may be thought of as having multiple
|
||
parents or being result of multiple lines of code development.
|
||
|
||
Section 3. Distribution Licensing Terms
|
||
|
||
A. General Requirements
|
||
Except as necessary to recognize third-party rights or third-party restriction
|
||
(see below), a distribution of the Program in any of the forms listed below
|
||
must not put any further restrictions on the recipient’s exercise of the rights
|
||
granted herein.
|
||
|
||
As a Contributor, you represent that your Modification(s) are your original
|
||
creation(s) and, to the best of your knowledge, no third party has any claim
|
||
(including but not limited to intellectual property claims) relating to your
|
||
Modification(s). You represent that each of your Modifications includes complete
|
||
details of any third-party right or other third-party restriction associated
|
||
with any part of your Modification (including a copy of any applicable license
|
||
agreement).
|
||
|
||
The Program must be distributed without charge beyond the costs of physically
|
||
transferring the files to the recipient.
|
||
|
||
This Warranty Disclaimer/Limitation of Liability must be prominently displayed
|
||
with every distribution of the Program in any form:
|
||
|
||
YOU AGREE THAT THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED AS-IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND
|
||
(EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED). ACCORDINGLY, OCLC MAKES NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS
|
||
OR GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES,
|
||
REPRESENTATIONS OR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
|
||
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AS TO:
|
||
(A) THE FUNCTIONALITY OR NONINFRINGEMENT OF PROGRAM, ANY MODIFICATION, A COMBINED
|
||
WORK OR AN AGGREGATE WORK; OR (B) THE RESULTS OF ANY PROJECT UNDERTAKEN USING
|
||
THE PROGRAM, ANY MODIFICATION, A COMBINED WORK OR AN AGGREGATE WORK. IN NO
|
||
EVENT SHALL THE CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
|
||
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT
|
||
LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA,
|
||
OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF
|
||
LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE
|
||
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF ADVISED
|
||
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES
|
||
OF ANY KIND AGAINST CONTRIBUTORS WHICH MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM.
|
||
|
||
B. Requirements for a Distribution of Modifiable Code
|
||
If you distribute the Program in a form to which the recipient can make Modifications
|
||
(e.g. source code), the terms of this license apply to use by recipient. In
|
||
addition, each source and data file of the Program and any Modification you
|
||
distribute must contain the following notice:
|
||
|
||
"Copyright (c) 2000- (insert then current year) OCLC Online Computer Library
|
||
Center, Inc. and other contributors. All rights reserved. The contents of
|
||
this file, as updated from time to time by the OCLC Office of Research, are
|
||
subject to OCLC Research Public License Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may
|
||
not use this file except in compliance with the License. You may obtain a
|
||
current copy of the License at http://purl.oclc.org/oclc/research/ORPL/. Software
|
||
distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" basis, WITHOUT
|
||
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See the License for the specific
|
||
language governing rights and limitations under the License. This software
|
||
consists of voluntary contributions made by many individuals on behalf of
|
||
OCLC Research. For more information on OCLC Research, please see http://www.oclc.org/research/.
|
||
The Original Code is ______________________________. The Initial Developer
|
||
of the Original Code is ________________________. Portions created by ______________________
|
||
are Copyright (C) _____ _______________________. All Rights Reserved. Contributor(s):
|
||
______________________________________."
|
||
|
||
C. Requirements for a Distribution of Non-modifiable Code
|
||
If you distribute the Program in a form to which the recipient cannot make
|
||
Modifications (e.g. object code), the terms of this license apply to use by
|
||
recipient and you must include the following statement in appropriate and
|
||
conspicuous locations:
|
||
|
||
"Copyright (c) 2000- (insert then current year) OCLC Online Computer Library
|
||
Center, Inc. and other contributors. All rights reserved."
|
||
|
||
In addition, the source code must be included with the object code distribution
|
||
or the distributor must provide the source code to the recipient upon request.
|
||
|
||
D. Requirements for a Combined Work Distribution
|
||
Distributions of Combined Works are subject to the terms of this license and
|
||
must be made at no charge to the recipient beyond the costs of physically
|
||
transferring the files to recipient.
|
||
|
||
A Combined Work may be distributed as either modifiable or non-modifiable
|
||
code. The requirements of Section 3.B or 3.C above (as appropriate) apply
|
||
to such distributions.
|
||
|
||
An "Aggregate Work" is when the Program exists, without integration, with
|
||
other programs on a storage medium. This License does not apply to portions
|
||
of an Aggregate Work which are not covered by the definition of "Program"
|
||
provided in this License. You are not forbidden from selling an Aggregate
|
||
Work. However, the Program contained in an Aggregate Work is subject to this
|
||
License. Also, should the Program be extracted from an Aggregate Work, this
|
||
License applies to any use of the Program apart from the Aggregate Work.
|
||
|
||
Section 4. License Grant
|
||
|
||
For purposes of permitting use of your Modifications by OCLC and other licensees
|
||
hereunder, you hereby grant to OCLC and such other licensees the non-exclusive,
|
||
worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicenseable license to execute,
|
||
copy, alter, delete, modify, adapt, change, revise, enhance, develop, publicly
|
||
display, distribute (internally and externally) and/or create derivative works
|
||
based on your Modifications (and derivative works thereof) in accordance with
|
||
these Terms. This Section 4 shall survive termination of this License for
|
||
any reason.
|
||
|
||
Section 5. Termination of Rights
|
||
|
||
This non-exclusive license (with respect to the grant from a particular Contributor)
|
||
automatically terminates for any entity that initiates legal action for intellectual
|
||
property infringement (with respect to the Program) against such Contributor
|
||
as of the initiation of such action.
|
||
|
||
If you fail to comply with this License, your rights (but not your obligations)
|
||
under this License shall terminate automatically unless you cure such breach
|
||
within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the noncompliance. All sublicenses
|
||
granted by you which preexist such termination and are properly granted shall
|
||
survive such termination.
|
||
|
||
Section 6. Other Terms
|
||
|
||
Except for the copyright notices required above, you may not use any trademark
|
||
of any of the Contributors without the prior written consent of the relevant
|
||
Contributor. You agree not to remove, alter or obscure any copyright or other
|
||
proprietary rights notice contained in the Program.
|
||
|
||
All transfers of the Program or any part thereof shall be made in compliance
|
||
with U.S. import/export regulations or other restrictions of the U.S. Department
|
||
of Commerce, as well as other similar trade or commerce restrictions which
|
||
might apply.
|
||
|
||
Any patent obtained by any party covering the Program or any part thereof
|
||
must include a provision providing for the free, perpetual and unrestricted
|
||
commercial and noncommercial use by any third party.
|
||
|
||
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or settlement relating to intellectual
|
||
property infringement or any other cause of action, conditions are imposed
|
||
on you that contradict the conditions of this License, such conditions do
|
||
not excuse you from compliance with this License. If you cannot distribute
|
||
the Program so as to simultaneously satisfy your obligations under this License
|
||
and such other conditions, you may not distribute the Program at all. For
|
||
example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
|
||
of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
|
||
you, you could not satisfy both the patent license and this License, and you
|
||
would be required to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
|
||
|
||
If you learn of a third party claim or other restriction relating to a Program
|
||
you have already distributed you shall promptly redo your Program to address
|
||
the issue and take all reasonable steps to inform those who may have received
|
||
the Program at issue. An example of an appropriate reasonable step to inform
|
||
would be posting an announcement on an appropriate web bulletin board.
|
||
|
||
The provisions of this License are deemed to be severable, and the invalidity
|
||
or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect or impair the remaining
|
||
provisions which shall continue in full force and effect. In substitution
|
||
for any provision held unlawful, there shall be substituted a provision of
|
||
similar import reflecting the original intent of the parties hereto to the
|
||
extent permissible under law.
|
||
|
||
The Original Contributor from time to time may change this License, and the
|
||
amended license will apply to all copies of the Program downloaded after the
|
||
new license is posted. This License grants only the rights expressly stated
|
||
herein and provides you with no implied rights or licenses to the intellectual
|
||
property of any Contributor.
|
||
|
||
This License is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between
|
||
the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and may not be amended except
|
||
by the written agreement of the parties. This License shall be governed by
|
||
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio and the United
|
||
States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
